Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer communication, more specifically, to a method and system for upgrading software. Background technique [0002] For software providers, it is necessary to continuously update and upgrade computer software to provide users with more functions. With the development of the Internet, computer software upgrades have gradually developed to achieve remote upgrades through server / client methods. The so-called server / client method means that the computer software provider stores the latest version of the computer software upgrade data on the server, and the user of the client uses HTTP (Hyperlink Transfer Protocol) or FTP (File Transfer Protocol) directly from the Internet through the Internet. Download the required upgrade data from the server. [0003] The initial software upgrade method is to replace all files or a part of files in the low version data package of the software with the whole file for soft...
